The biohub development process
Consult and Audit
On behalf of primary producers we audit the sources of biomass from both production and waste streams
Define the optimal products
The highest Net Value Return for the biomass is investigated and evaluated so economic, social and environmental benefits can be maximised.
For example, biochar fertilisers have far greater value than burning biomass for electricity.
Determine the optimal technology
Technology is our servant, not our master.
As the mission is to maximise the value of biomass technology is found or developed to suit the desired value outcomes.
We do not pull down the value of the biomass to suit the comfort of technology providers.
"We must always have a responsible, beneficial & holistic approach to the environment & community"

Consult and Audit
Consult
Consultation with communities, landholders, government departments to fully understand the local and regional resources, priorities, needs and expectations.
Audit
The inherent properties of the biomass as well as the social, environmental and economic framework it exists within.
Define the optimal products
Carbon neutral burning of biomass for electricity is the lowest value product and the product of last resort.
Carbon sequestering products have a higher social, environmental and economic value
- biochar fertilisers
- reductants
- specialty timbers
- essential oils
- hydrogen
- fertigated water
Determine the optimal technology
Technology is our servant not our master.
A combination of detailed financial feasibility, cost benefit analysis, R&D, pilot production is undertaken to fully explore the biomass properties and find the highest value product possible.
Technology comes with people and their expertise. We engage with Universities and experts in their fields to push the boundaries of current processes and knowledge.
